organic chemistry gcse (but it's a love song)

hey i heard ur like an alkane... u single (bonds between carbon atoms)??

@jtclosetedmusic

listen to CH(URAQT) on spotify (i added an extra chorus!):

chords:
c, g, am, f
(strumming pattern dduudu)

lyrics:
i think the chemists made a mistake
designing the fractionating column
cause it should be you at the bottom
cause you’re smoking hot

i also heard you’re like an alkane
single bonds between carbon atoms
i was hoping maybe i could change that
cause alkanes are lame

your boiling point’s so high
even bitumen can’t deny
every fraction has a use
and yours is stealing my heart
be the carbon to my hydrogen
then it’ll be me and you not them
our displayed formula would be shaped as a heart

you’re my living oxygen
we have good chemistry maybe we should react
can you complete my combustion

i was thinking maybe we could bond
the name’s bond, covalent bond
if you were a molecular formula you’d be C-H-(U-R-A-Q-T)

your boiling point’s so high
even bitumen can’t deny
every fraction has a use
and yours is stealing my heart
be the carbon to my hydrogen
then maybe it’ll be me and you not them
our displayed formula would be shaped as a heart

hi guys me again 😭 before i see any other comments about the displayed formula, yes i know carbon is only supposed to have 4 bonds and hydrogen 1 bond. i made this video last march (as in march 2022) and i had no idea (chem baby). if you check my channel/instagram/spotify, in the cover art i’ve changed the displayed formula to an ethene molecule, so it’s finally chemically correct!! hope this clears things up 🥲🫶🏻

also i added the lyrics and chords in the description so go check it out there :) thank you for listening!

I'm leaving this comment here so that if someone likes it, I get reminded of this song!

Imagine being so good at chemistry that u can even make a love song from it ;-;

[shreyanshmori]

Song has a complete different vibe when you play it at 1.75x belive me ❤

These lyrics use chemistry-related concepts and puns to express feelings of attraction and love towards someone. The person is using scientific terminology in a creative and playful way to express their emotions.

In the first verse, the person uses the idea of a fractionating column, which is used to separate different components of a mixture, to suggest that the other person should be at the bottom because they are "smoking hot." This is a metaphorical way of saying that they find the other person very attractive.

In the second verse, the person compares the other person to an alkane, which has only single bonds between carbon atoms and is considered to be relatively unreactive. They express the desire to "change that" and form a stronger bond, as they find alkanes to be "lame."

The third verse uses the boiling point of a substance to convey the idea that the other person is very desirable and has stolen their heart. The person then uses the chemical structure of a hydrocarbon to suggest that they could form a stable bond by becoming the carbon to the other person's hydrogen.

In the fourth verse, the person uses the term "living oxygen" to express the idea that the other person is essential to their well-being. They then use the idea of chemical reactions to suggest that they could form a strong bond and complete each other, like completing a combustion reaction.

The fifth verse uses the idea of bonding to suggest that the two people should form a strong connection, and uses the pun "the name's bond, covalent bond" to playfully reference the James Bond spy movies. The last line uses chemical symbols to spell out "C-H-(U-R-A-Q-T), " which is a clever way of saying "see how you are a cutie."

Overall, these lyrics use scientific concepts in a creative way to express feelings of attraction and love.

As a chemistry nerd, this put a smile on my face :)

[althearazealleartucilla]

I love ittt, gonna sing this to my boyfriend we're both science undergrads i bet he's gonna love this ❤️,

[taniya]

As a physics student, I feel a bit of shame bcz, I didn't tried learned physics with this much creativity and love until now. ❤

[donkeycheeser]

i learned more chemistry from this than all my science classes combined

I think the chemists made a mistake designing the fractionating column
Cause it should be you at the bottom
Cause you smoking hot
I also heart you're like an alkane
Single bonds between carbon atoms
I was hoping maybe I could change that
Cause alkanes a lame
Your boiling point so high
Even bitumen can't deny
Every fraction has a use and yours is stealing my heart
Be the carbon to my hydrogen and it will be me and you not them
Our displayed formula will be shape as a heart

You're my living oxygen
We have good at chemistry maybe we should react
Can you complete my combustion
I was thinking maybe we could bond
The name’s bond covalent bond
If you are a molecular formula will be C-H-U-R-A-Q-T
Your boiling point so high
Even bitumen can't deny
Every fraction has a use and yours is stealing my heart
Be the carbon to my hydrogen and it will be me and you not them
Our displayed formula will be shape as a heart🧡

As a guy struggling with organic chemistry This song really instilled some hope in me thank you

[Anerd]

"Cause alkanes are lame" Well I genuinely felt that :')

[ctmsccj]

I just finished my chemistry gcse today and i love this 😭

[aasshimaa]

Dear Jennifer.
You don't know how much this song has helped me!
I am going to chose science as my stream for highschool and was scared of organic chemistry but listening to this song it made me realise that loving science was the best decision made by me.

Thank you for such a cute song <3

P.s: I sent this song to almost 50 people!!

[hasinimanik]

Done, I’m downloading this masterpiece

[nezkuochaaan]

If the whole chemistry was being taught like this, I'd be first on my class
Plus, your singing is so amazing and your smile is so so cute🥰

[maru]

I'm crying I love this so much 😭
The exam board doesn't specify that you can't bring instruments into the exam hall. I'll use this song during an exam and I'll make it everyone else's problem

[divyankasharma]

Tomorrow is my physics exam but I'm listening this😅 but I just love this😍😍

[utdiem]

This song has helped me so much, your voice is already so angelic and with the lyrics, UGH I LOVE IT SO FRICKING MUCH

[shridirehsis]

i loved the way u sing its calming and made my heart overwhelmed really loved the song
